r/gcu

I'm a Hellenic Pagan, and currently deciding between ASU and GCU. GCU is closer, doesn't require me to live on campus, and overall seems like the better option. The one thing I'm debating on at this point is whether going to a Christian school is worth it. I know Christianity is baked into college life, and that's honestly fine, don't really care. What I care about is how much of the academics is going to be Christianity based. I'm going for a bachelor's in history and education, and want to know how much Christianity is important to that course religiously, and not just historically.

I was a Christian for many years, so I'm not allergic to the concept, and even removing religion GCU still has many upsides, I just want to take everything into account. Any knowledge is appreciated!

I’m currently an online student at GCU, we’ll I’m inactive right now because it’s been more than two weeks since I took class. I’m supposed to start back up my second year next month. I failed MAT 151 twice with a D. My student services counselor told me if I want to switch, the cheapest option would be at a community college. I don’t see a point because I graduated from community college two years ago. I’m not planning to move on campus because that’s too expensive. I emailed her but I’m waiting to hear back.

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has recently gone through GCU’s ABSN secondary admissions process.

I received & submitted my secondary application yesterday for the ABSN program at one of the Florida locations & was wondering how long it typically took everyone to hear back about whether they were accepted. I’m hoping to start this fall, so I’m getting a little anxious waiting for an update.

For those who have gone through the process recently, how long after submitting your secondary application did you receive a decision? Was it a few days, a week, or longer? Also, did you receive your acceptance by email, phone call, or through your student portal?

Any recent experiences would be really helpful. Thank you!

I am starting digital video production 1 and was curious if we need a dslr camera or if I can just use my iPhone as my camera? I am taking the course online and want to make sure that I have what I need to successfully complete said course.

Hey guys, for context, I have 6 courses left until I graduate. I am currently in the hybrid modality and am being forced to change to the fully online college modality. My projected graduation date is April 2027 and would really like to keep it that way. I am wondering if the online classes are hard to get into since im just now transferring to the online college after my grades post (3.6 GPA) BS of science in cybersecurity

TLDR: For the online college, is it hard to find open classes in the fall?

I am thinking about applying in 2028 (I know I have a while). I was just curious about your thoughts on the school and what I should know. I'm also someone who is out of state (Nevada) so if there is anything I should know about that surrounding areas as well. Thank you so much have a great evening!

Does anyone have any useful tips for working group projects for online students. I’ll admit I’m pretty frustrated that group projects are still a thing in these classes when half of the point of going online was that it’s supposed to be asynchronous, meaning I can login and get it done whenever. I work full-time and odd hours, there’s a ton of reading in this class and the assignments take even longer than the reading. My last class also had group projects, some of us were on the West Coast and some of us were on the East Coast, but there was only four of us so we had to be in one group. Half the group didn’t participate really, and we turned in an unfinished final project because I just did not have time to do more than the work I agreed to do.

How can we work around this? Has anyone had success with the online group projects? Is it just luck of the draw on who’s in your group? We don’t have in person classes and we don’t have each other’s phone numbers so it’s not like I can chase people down for their part of the project, and inevitably someone ends up doing more than everyone else just because that’s the nature of compiling online work, which also feels pretty unfair

Sorry, this turned into half a rant, but I really am seeking best practices if anyone has any. Thank you.

Hi! I am starting GCU ABSN in the fall and am just wondering how long clinical usually is?

From what I've seen on this sub, the textbooks for the ABSN program are really important to read and go over.

I'll be taking notes on the lectures and have good strategies for that. For the textbook however, is it worth it (or even feasible) to take notes from the textbook on the regular? Or is it better to skim/read and add information missing from the lectures?

Does anyone know if there’s somewhere I can find the discussion questions for Level 4 courses ahead of time? I’d like to use the break to get a head start on some of the homework. TIA!

I’m currently trying to think realistically about my options and have a backup plan in case I’m not approved for reentry. I’m not trying to be negative or assume the worst — I just don’t want to wait around without knowing what my next move would be.

For anyone who went through this, what nursing program did you transfer to? How far were you into the GCU program when you transferred, and were you able to transfer most of your credits?

I’d especially appreciate hearing about ABSN/BSN programs that accepted GCU nursing credits and how the transition went. Thank you!

Im supposed to be student teaching (full time) this fall but have still not received my placement. I’m in nj doing the online program but the school year starts in 2-3 weeks and I’m really stressing about not having my placement. Is this normal? Is there something more I should be doing? I’ve tried reaching out to my advisors however they’re not always super responsive. I’m just so stressed and really wanted to be there for the beginning of the school year.

Hey everyone, I started a brand during my freshman year, and with the new school year coming up I’ve been working with a few friends to help them make some extra money by creating content for it. It’s been going pretty well, so I figured I’d open it up to a few more students.

I’m looking for people who can consistently make short 15 - 30 second videos. You don’t need a following or any content creation experience. I provide examples of what to make, and you’d create new TikTok and Instagram accounts specifically for the content.

Pay is performance based at $2 per 1,000 views. So if your videos collectively get 1M views, you’d make $2,000.

It’s pretty flexible and you can post around your class schedule. You can basically post as many times as you want a day but I try to post twice a day so the algorithm doesn’t think I am spamming.

If anyone is interested, comment or message me and I can send you more details.

So I’ve been an online student at GCU for a year and I was thinking about being an on campus student. The thing I need to work on is my financial aid and funds situation first. They have more tutoring options for in person students in tutoring. I failed MAT-151 twice with a D and I really need to get it together.

i'm hoping to take a few prereqs through gcu online. i am not a student here and must go through the application process. does it matter the program that I put (would i have to apply as a bachelor of science in nursing student or can i put a different program such as bachelor of science in health sciences? does it matter?

does anyone know if absn students have school on sundays?

My classes end next week, and I’m trying to figure out where final grades show up once professors officially submit them. I also realized I’m not sure where to view my final grades from last semester.

I’ve already checked the “Class Schedule and Grades” pages, but I’m not seeing them there. Is there another place in the GCU portal where official final grades are posted?
Thanks!
